Open the citygates, war is over! Gentry and renegades.. They're crawling out from every haven Merry men are getting shaven Yes every pretty walk of life is here! All of my life I had been waiting I'm not sure which way I'm going but nothing's gonna stop me from cheering As you know, like you've been told We have been freed! Free every man, take it for granted Then no king was ever likely to lead us where the psyche was broken Now you know, as you've been told We have been freed! The monastery rings eleven Coming to the square, the market place - a feast alluring! And I scrutinize my garments, they do need washing.. But I say to you - Here's a toast to all our friends who'd not pull through Open the citygates, war is over! Dance around the colonnades! The reeking of forgotten ovens I hear the chanting of the local coven And every pretty walk of life is here! All of my life I had been frightened And not sure which way I'm going but nothing's gonna stop me from living As you know like you've been told We have been freed Free every man, take it for granted Then no king was ever likely to lead us where the psyche was broken Now you know, as you've been told We have been freed! Yes we have been freed.. The sun has found a way to greet us We all have found a way to liberate intoxication 'Cause I stumble like a madman on the pavement But I say anew Here's a toast to all the friends who died for you All of our lives we had been waiting We're not sure which way we're going but nothing's gonna stop us from cheering So rejoice, it's not too late What's that noise? Run to the gates.. Run thru the gates!
